i love how Al knows all of the cheapest ways of doing things, yet he doesn't cut any corners. It's the cheapest most reasonable way to do the job correctly.

[@AtreidaeChibiko]

Awww, not once did Al call it Dirt Squirting :P But the real MVP here is Woody. After a day of ripping it up on the bike, he comes home tired and edits this up for us. Thanks mate

[@LobbyDaLobster]

I like Kramer peaking through the bonnet hole. His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.

[@Bbeavis]

Music in the start of this episode was so much better than in past episodes. Well done fellas.

[@RussZHC]

If you decide to do another "workshop" series, I for one wouldn't mind a more in-depth about those exhaust manifolds. Thanks.

[@joorsh]

Don't think we don't notice those production values! You're sneakily getting a bit pro on us there. Seeing some very smooth and slick camera shots and lighting, well done boys.

[@someyoungguy6990]

Not that i would ever bag out your fab skills guys, but the fella who done the CAD work on the headers should be on the payroll! They look like professionally made units, and if you had of said they came from Goleby's i don't think anyone would have given a second thought given just how good they look. Great work mate !!

The bonnet has a hole for the engine hoist! Perfect!

Those BMW radiators must be good, Al uses them for everything! Looks like a versatile bit of kit, if you know how to mount it. Another awesome video, cheers guys some good engineering topics, like the body flex and rubber mounted components.

[@danielcasey6146]

The amount of awesome fab work and amount of time put into these builds is incredible guys keep up the good work !

[@SebastianOutzen]

You should do an episode where you take us through the process of making those headers. And if possible, do a dyno run with old and new headers, just to compare if it makes more power or not.

[@nzsmidey]

there is massive twist in car chassis, I jammed my fingers in between the door and jamb when the door was shut once. lowered evo1, driving on an angle into a steep driveway and the door gap opened up while i had my fingers touching the door rubbers. when the gap opened up my digits slipped in and then the car got all fours on the same plain and closed the gap.

[@travellingsoldier5018]

May have already been pointed out but................Instructions with quality holesaws (Millers Falls or Stanley perhaps) say maximum speed not more than 50 feet per sec. straight line cutting speed. Slower the better so long as you are getting swarf. If you stick to something under that (50fps) keep them cool & use recommended cutting fluid they will give good service.

[@theskidfactory]

The 4" holesaw we replaced is about 5 years old.
